In The Garden of Life

About this book

In a world where wars rage, terroism and religious strife tear life apart this volume reads like a cool drink of water. In a poetic litany the author reminds the reader that it doesn't matter what differences we have in religion, age, gender, finance, race, age or whether we are good or bad we are all destined for goodness. Our job, the author says, is to learn from what happen to us. The particular experiences we have, whether good or bad, are not what matter; what counts is what we make of these experiences. We do not live in the world, we live in our minds, Dr. Costello says. And what we do with life's happenings in our minds is what will make our lives a heaven or hell for each of us. This is not more religiousity or the author's philosophy, instead he provides sane, sound, sensible ideas for living well and happily no matter what your physical or financial situation.
